I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki
59,000 TNDBaek Se-Hee is a successful young social media director at a publishing house when she begins seeing a psychiatrist about her–what to call it?–depression? She feels persistently low, anxious, endlessly self-doubting, but also highly judgemental of others. She hides her feelings well at work and with friends, adept at performing the calmness, even ease, her lifestyle demands. The effort is exhausting and overwhelming and keeps her from forming deep relationships. This can’t be normal. But if she’s so hopeless, why can she always summon a yen for her favourite street food, the hot, spicy rice cake, tteokbokki? Is this just what life is like? Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions, and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse.

The Devil appears to him, dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, and makes an offer: if he makes one thing in the world disappear, he can have an extra day of life. As the days tick by, and with Cabbage by his side, he begins a journey that might just lead him back to the people he thought he’d lost.
Before it’s too late . . .
If Cats Disappeared from the World is a life-affirming meditation on what we leave behind – and what we hold onto until the very end. ‘If you’re a fan of The Guest Cat (or even just cats generally), you’ll love this’ – The Sunday Times
